This is an additional security feature that complements the authentication through user name and password. With 2-factor authentication, users must enter an additional factor for authentication.
NetMan Desktop Manager supports the most common one-time password systems that are RADIUS server-compatible:
•Aladdin
•Secure ID
•Safeword
Once you activate 2-factor authentication, you can define a label for the Web Interface with which your users are familiar from your OTP system, under Text in form field. All other settings apply to the way web services address the RADIUS server. You can configure both a primary and a backup RADIUS server. The backup server is used any time the first server is inaccessible.
Timeout. Time (in seconds) before another request will be sent.
Number of connection attempts. Number of connection attempts per RADIUS server.
Use domain names in login. Defines whether the domain precedes the user name in the credentials for login on the RADIUS server. In other words, this setting defines whether user name or domain\user name is used for authentication.
The PAP protocol is used for authentication to the RADIUS server.
